My daughter is in the Little Ninjas classes. Sensei does a great job working with several young children all having varied ability to focus. He is very patient and able to keep things moving despite the kids’ relentless distractions. A child can easily enter and engage with class without any prior experience, and familiarity builds quickly. Depending on the day, many parents/guardians can crowd the waiting area, although several parents will take off to the nearby grocery store or coffee roaster. The monthly fee is the same regardless of how many times you go - up to six lessons per week. My daughter wants to go any time it’s available.

Found this school for my kiddo, and it was great! For kids the training is every day 30 min, which helps to build a routine but not too long for my kiddo to lose interest. Great school! We like it very much!

I highly recommend Zanshin Dojo for any newcomers looking to get into martial arts! Sensi Mirko has built an incredibly welcoming community at the Dojo, and will make you feel at home right away. You have 1 week to try it out for free, and see how you like it. Then, if you sign up to be a member, you'll receive a gi (karate uniform) included. Each class, you will not only benefit from Sensei's tremendous all-levels instruction but will also receive 1-on-1 mentoring from black belts in the class. I was nervous to get started, but quickly found that I loved my time at the Dojo. If you're thinking about it, put yourself out there and try something new with Zanshin Dojo!

Zanshin dojo is amazing. It's not often that you see a place thriving during the pandemic, but Zanshin has done a fantastic job of resuming activity while taking the highest COVID precautions. Their outdoor classes are great for absolute beginners all the way up to high degrees of black belts. If you're looking for a place that facilitates physical growth and doubles as a welcoming community you should definitely check them out.
